(PresseBox) - According to a new IT spending forecast report published by IDC Energy Insights, total year-end IT spending by Western European utilities is expected to be $10.5 billion in 2012, with the majority (62.1%) of IT spending being dedicated to IT services.

The report, which includes market sizing and forecast estimates for the utilities industry in Western Europe for 2011-2016, predicts that IT spending by technologies and sub technologies over a five-year span for software spending will see the most significant boom, growing at a 2011-2016 CAGR of 7.2%, reaching $3.1 billion by 2016. IT services also show a positive outlook, growing just below average (4.9%), while the hardware sector will grow below average (at 3.1%) between 2011 and 2016.
